SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

systemd-detect-virt

detects execution in a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization technology and can distinguish full VM virtualization from container virtualization.

When executed without --quiet will print a short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The following technologies are currently identified: qemu, kvm, vmware, microsoft, oracle, xen, bochs, chroot, uml, openvz, lxc, lxc-libvirt, systemd-nspawn.

If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the "innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both VM virtualization and container virtualization are used in conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless --vm is passed).
